ultimaker s5 3d printer moves additive manufacturing to enterprise level

Factories in the future are changing people\'s perception of manufacturing plants. For some, the manufacturing plant represents huge noise from heavy machinery, dirty floors and dangerous environments. This hard-working, tenacious stereotype is why it is hard to imagine that 3D printers are part of what many digital thought leaders (including the current World Economic Forum) call the fourth industrial revolution. Doubts about 3D printing are easy to understand; After all, many printers can be placed behind the Toyota Prius. Desktop maker, one of the leaders in the field of Desktop 3D printing, will change these manufacturing patterns with the new S5 model. It is clear that many manufacturers see 3D printers as a partial way to enhance and improve their products, rather than replacing existing methods, at least for a period of time. Ultimaker is doing what additive manufacturing experts suggest: go after big businesses, the big brands you find on the Forbes Global Top 2000 list. Wohlers Report 2018 confirms this enterprise approach: the Ultimaker S5 3D printer is in the best condition with the enterprise. Since its launch in the summer of 2018, tech reviews have been positive. It may be more important for enterprise engineers ( Or a company of any size) , The company shows that it understands the audience when it announces ISO 9001: 2015 certification for quality management and ISO 14001: 2015 certification for environmental management based on a strict company Extensive audit of the BSI Group ( Dutch office). Advanced manufacturing on desktop or desktop computers is back to the manufacturing concept: There are various misconceptions about US manufacturing. A recent survey by Leading2Lean shows that 70% of people think the industry is falling, while 58% think jobs in the US manufacturing industry are falling. Most people also believe71 percent) Jobs outsourced to China and other countries are the main reason for this decline. According to the reliable factory Com, \"In fact, the manufacturing industry is growing so fast that in the next decade, nearly three years. There are 5 million manufacturing jobs that need to be filled, and it is estimated that 2 million of them will not be filled. \"The survey page of the manufacturing index of Leading2Lean is here.

Author and entrepreneur Sarah boisford\'s new book, the new white-collar workforce ( Published by photon Media Press) Proving the huge demand for new skills for these manufacturing job openings. She interviewed 200 manufacturing executives. Boisvert touches the heart of the skill gap and defines an engaging path Working in cool digital factory. In my work as an analyst, researcher, writer and evaluator ( Marketing Product Testing) I talk to manufacturers large and small about what they think is the digital factory, and the need for a new career path. Through my work at several national science foundations (NSF) Project, I am in contact with educators and administrators in two projectsyear and four- The annual university, which actively cooperates with local and regional employers, has added skills training to help them fill these new jobs, many of which are 3D printing related jobs. I have seen a lot of 3D printers and other advanced manufacturing machines through my workshop or other locations. They are becoming easier to use and are able to produce final parts ( Wohlers Report confirm final part production is a big deal). I have always been surprised by what Ultimaker has done. About two years ago, I did an in-depth study of one of their early printers and found that many professional-level projects were using their machines. Most users consider reliability and high quality to be one of their main considerations, and the company provides services according to market needs. I have a media loan S5 model in my workshop, still in the box, waiting for some evaluation time. Yes, the price of the printer is in the high-end market, which bothers some consumers, but for enterprise customers, the above factors exceed the cost considerations. When you see thoughtful designs, the way they approach the user experience, Ultimaker is the apple of the 3D printer ( Including but not limited to your own Cura software). I know why a lot of big ones Enterprise brands like Ford, Bosch, Airbus or L\'Oreal will choose one of the Ultimaker S5 or other models. They look quiet, elegant, and most importantly, they make top products 3D printing quality. With increased reliability and customer service, Ultimaker will lead charging into the fourth industrial revolution.
